He has since modified it, but we are now working on a total revision of
it.... in dark red Hmmm. And that is with coaches. Brick acquisition has
been slow, but results will be forthcoming, so stay tuned:-)
|
Good luck with that...

lol Thanks; you know what I’ve been going through;-) But I have to say that,
from the looks of your beaut, it is definitely worth it! Actually, I am in the
middle of recoloring my Milwaukee Road Hiawatha train in dark red, and Ross is
working on the Hogwarts Express.
| |
Just don’t forget there are other colours out there:

Yeah, I remember seeing pics of those coaches, but I can’t tell from this one
about which colours you’re speaking;-) (translation: post more better pics:-)
| |
And I love this shot that Huw took:

Tasty!

I went for an actual ‘Castle’ class. That’s what ‘Hogwart’s Castle’ is
supposed to be, but they couldn’t get a Castle for the film. The Hornby model
is actually a Castle, since they didn’t have a Hall class mould. I think I’ll
have to re-do mine in dark green.
|
Good luck with that;-) I’ve already had my dark green
odyssey:-)

Personally, I think the BBB wheels below the sole plate make the boiler a
little too high on Tim’s engine. If I do rebuild mine, I’ll stick with the
model-team sizes, though it means I can’t do full linkages.
|
Yup-- shrouding is a huge issue that is essentially unsolvable at smaller
scales...
| |
The curves on the carriages are nicely done, but they do come up quite high
and raise everything higher above the bogeys. They would certainly look
better on a larger scale model, but an excellent job on fitting them in. Why
not use BBB small wheels and design some lower profile bogeys? Then you could
insert a plate or two of red between the tops of the curves and the yellow
stripe.
It may not be the neatest method, but here’s how I’ve attached things to a
macoroni boiler:

I never got the impression of such a curving profile of the coaches. I’ll have
to go back and look at my reference material.
